Our Mission

Skid Row-kyo Mission:   Program and schedule events that will bring the “Spirit and Culture” of Little Tokyo, the “Creativity, Imagination and Inspiration” of the Artist District and the “Compassion and Humanity” of Los Angeles’s Skid Row District together in harmony, solidarity and unity.   

Our History

Helping others that help others...

The amazing people of SPN Networks  wanted to do something special this holiday season for those less fortunate.   See how they hand made hundreds of blankets and care packages that included socks, toothbrushes,  toothpaste  and a personalized card with a inspirational message for the recipient.   Then they contacted us to distribute the gifts they made directly to our neighbors who call the sidewalks of skidrow home.  This is what "WE" do, help others help others. Contact us if you need help.

    Always a NEED. "Run Outs" is a reality...

    We collect bottled water, blankets, snack food, etc. to distribute to our homeless neighbors.  Sadly no matter how much we collect the NEED always exceeds the supply.  Contact us if you have something you wish to have directly distributed to our neighbors who call the sidewalks of Skid Row home.  Bottled water, blankets, packaged food, T-shirts, etc.  You collect it, we will deliver it.  We have 20+ years delivering directly to our Neighbors of Skid Row.
